Its becoming such a problem some farmers have even been paying 75$ for every hog killed on their property.

Nearly 17,000 people in America get murdered every year. 85% of the world's serial killers are here in America. We spend $150 billion a year on the complications of gunshot wounds-yearly. And you are teaching 8 year olds animal cruelty-though the law says it is okay to shoot pigs (which are more intelligent than dogs), hogs rarely die right away when shot. The scream in agony and sound *very* human because it hurts; they run and bleed to death. Is this what you want to teach your children? ARE YOU SERIOUS?? http://www.jaapl.org/cgi/reprint/30/2/257.pdf The Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law J Am Acad Psychiatry Law 30:257–65, 2002 "A history of animal cruelty during childhood was significantly associated with APD [Antisocial Personality Disorder], antisocial personality traits, and polysubstance abuse. Mental retardation, psychotic disorders, and alcohol abuse showed no such association." "One of the most dangerous things that can happen to a child is to kill or torture an animal and get away with it," Margaret Meade, Anthropologist. Finally, should one of these children get hurt-and hunting accidents DO occur-the State will be held liable due to sponsoring this insane program. I'm sure lawyers are licking their chops at this moment for this opportunity to earn millions and get national attention. I think it's very sad parents would teach this to their kids, and even sadder that a government would encourage it. In America, ever year, 30,000 people die of gunshot wounds.

BTW this hunt has been going on since 2006 in Florida. Feral Hogs are an extreme problem in many other places around the world, Turkey has a huge feral hog problem, since they do not hunt them for the most part, they are forbidden to consume them. Once a sow reaches breeding age at 7 or 8 months of age they can be responsible for 1,000 plus feral swine in a 5 year period. more info here http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2285925/hunting_and_kidsflorida_children_invited.html May be unusual to you…Plenty of folks that do not live in big cities including children, hunt feral hogs…
